ACS Division of Carbohydrate Chemistry & Chemical Glycobiology
Advancing the field of carbohydrate chemistry and chemical glycobiology through support and collaboration.
Announcements
Powering the Future of Glycoscience
ACS CARB strives to be the leading home for carbohydrate chemists and glycoscientists, growing a vibrant and inclusive community that reflects the interdisciplinary nature of the field. We promote the advancement of carbohydrate chemistry and chemical glycobiology while celebrating the scientists, ideas, and collaborations that drive discovery forward.
What does the CARB Division do?
- Organize and sponsor CARB programming at ACS National Meetings and Exposition, including special symposia, award symposia, and poster sessions. On occasion, we participate in joint symposia with other divisions, including recent and popular joint symposia with CELL. Please continue to submit abstracts for ACS CARB programming!
- Organize and sponsor symposia at international meetings dedicated to glycosciences, such as Gordon Research Conferences, International Carbohydrate Symposia, Pacifichem, etc
- Produce the ACS CARB Newsletter that is distributed to members a month before the ACS National Meeting
- Support other ACS symposia relevant to carbohydrate chemistry and chemical glycobiology, including the ACS Division of Professional Relations, ACS Undergraduate Chemistry Students, ACS Regional Meetings, etc.
- Provide opportunities for undergraduate chemists, for example, travel awards and poster awards
- Organize and support award programs, including the Claude S. Hudson Award, the Melville L. Wolfrom Award, the Horace S. Isbell Award, the David Y. Gin New Investigator Award, and the Derek Horton Award in Industrial Carbohydrate Chemistry
